Sanitary milk bottle holder



Sept. 29, 1931. GURNSEY 1,825348 SANITARY MILK BOTTLE HOLDER F'iledMarch 6, 1929 Inventor H. Gurnsy By wal I A itorney Patented Sept. 29,1931 UNITED STATES PATE SANITARY MILK Application filed March 6,

The present invention relates to a holder for milk bottles and the likeand has for its prime object to provide a structure whereby a bottle maybe supported in a suspended position with the top thereof protected fromthe elements, insects, dust and the like.

Another very important object of the invention resides in the provisionof a sanitary bottle holder of this nature which is exceedingly simplein its construction, inexpensive to manufacture, strong and durable,thoroughly eflicient and reliable in use, and otherwise well adapted tothe purpose for which it is designed. 7

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features ofconstruction and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will behereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a vertical section through the device embodying the featuresof my invention,

Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view thereof.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that the holdercomprises a cylindrical body 5 having a dome like top 6 on the upperedge thereof. The lower edge of the body 5 merges into an outwardlydirected. annular flange 7 in turn merging at its outer edge to adownwardly extending annular flange 8 which in turn merges into aninwardly directed annular flange 9 the width of which is less than theflange 7.

A rubber disk 10 is mounted between a washer 11 resting on the flange 9and the flange 7 and this rubber disk 10 is provided with a centralopening 12 so that a milk bot tle or the like 1 1 may have its endinserted through the opening so that the usual bead 15 thereof will fitthe opening as it is passed therethrough and then when the milk bottleis released said bead will rest on the disk 10 at BOTTLE HOLDER 1929.Serial No. 344,821.

the edge of the opening and the cap in the milk bottle is thoroughlyprotected from the elements, flies, dust and the like. This rubber disk10, of course, must be sufliciently strong to support'the weight of thebottle but the size and material of this disk is not of the essence ofinvention, being variable according to circumstances.

I utilize especially constructed brackets so that this holder may bemounted on the side of a house or in any other desired place. Thisbracket comprises a U-shaped body portion 16 with ears 17 and 18 whichmay be nailed or otherwise fixed to the support while the bight of theU-shaped body is riveted or otherwise fixed as at 19 to the body 5 ofthe holder.

It is thought that the construction, utility and advantages of thisinvention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this artwithout a more detailed description thereof.

The present embodiment of the invention has been disclosed inconsiderable detail merely for the purposes of exemplification, since inactual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated asdesirable in the statement of the invention and the above description.

It will be apparentthat changes in the details of construction, inmaterials, in the sizes, and in the combination and arrangement of partsmay be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of theinvention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

1. A bottle holder of the class described comprising a cylindrical body,a top over the body, the lower end of the body merging into an outwardlydirected annular flange which in turn merges into a depending annularflange, the depending annular flange merging into an inwardly directedannular flange, an elastic disk having its outer periphery between theoutwardly and inwardly directed flanges and provided with a centralopening. 2. A bottle holder of the class described comprising acylindrical body, a top over the body, the lower end of the body merginginto an outwardly directed annular flange which in turn merges into adependin annular flange, the depending annular flange merging into aninwardly directed annular 1 flange, an elastic disc having its outerperiphery between the outwardly and inwardly directed flanges andprovided with a central opening, a gasket interposed between the diskand the inwardly directed flange. I In testimony whereof I afiix mysignature.

HAROLD GURNSEY.
